The association will also host the Little Miss Philippines BVI on June 12. Open to young girls between the ages of 5 and 10, the Little Miss Phillipine BVI will showcase girls of Filipino descent residing in the VI.
The pageant aims to have the contestants “shine with confidence, grace, and Filipino pride!”
The pageants are being held in celebration of the association’s 15th anniversary.
Efforts to reach organisers of the pageants for further comment and information on the pageants were not successful at the time of publishing.
The Filipino population is among the fastest-growing in the VI and ranks second only to Jamaica among nationalities holding active work permits in the Virgin Islands, according to data shared in the House of Assembly in June 2025.

Nevertheless you cannot continue to have an open immigration boarder system for the BVI, it's a recipe for disaster.
Bigyan mo ako ng isang pulgada at kukuha ako ng isang bukuran!
I dont loathe you because i understand the quagmire from which such cerebral indolence manifests.
in fact...i heard a local man chastise and caution his expat wife against writing to the district representative to suggest regulation and electronic (Decibel meter-monitoring and control of music at public events held in these blessed communities. She was merely offering a solution to a problem which impacts us all
eg- Loud music from modified private vehicle and loud speakers ..especially those occuring 4 and 5 hours AFTER THE EVENTS HAVE CONCLUDED....even up to 10 and 11pm. Stuff like that.
The husband reminded her that she is " NOT from here" and has to be careful not to offend locals and that she 'has to worry about being sent home".
That my friend is the BVI PARADOX. a world class people capable of self-governance and performing at the highest levels of academia, art , science , finance etc on GLOBAL SCALES......yet ...APPARENTLY THERE ARE SOME SHORTCOMINGS...SMH. OMG
These people shpuld not be doing this sh** in our country
@Wrong
Add pi** to the sh** this . Someone need to put a stop to it. What the hell
WHAT THE HELL.... Well sah aryou hear thing hmm...
Now they want our name attached to them. Bul*l shi**
This is just the precursor of things to come. Yall stay in the corner and don’t get engaged. In a short while, you will be strangers in your own country. This is the result of having open borders; everyone and sundry come and feel bold and empowered to do as they like. Keep on turning the cheek for more pimp slaps. This was deliberate don’t give a damn action , etc. Another blogger suggested hauling in the ambassador for a chat. The immigration and labor amendments needs to happen soones. We take anything for granted. We cannot assume anything, put changes in place. Uncontrol of migration is putting a strain the education, health, infrastructure, social services,etc.These people are full of themselves, trying to dictate how things should be ran in the BVI.
THE minister DID NOTHING.
The labour department also has a hard time making employers surrender the release letters of immigrant who are no longer under their employ- against the law ...but locals love locals to NO ENd or STANDARD...and local EMPATHY TRUMPS FAIRNESS, LOVE AND KINDNESS. sad.
MEANWHILE ...( bATMAN INTERLUDE SONG..LOL):
United States: BVI Islanders have a strong presence at the West Indian American Day Carnival in Brooklyn, New York (every Labor Day weekend) and the Miami Carnival in Florida (every October).
Canada: In Toronto, the BVI diaspora gathers during the Toronto Caribbean Carnival (formerly Caribana), which takes place in August and is North America's largest Caribbean cultural festival.
AND...
During the summer, the BVI London Office organizes local UK events to coincide with the BVI Emancipation Festival, giving the diaspora a chance to celebrate their heritage, enjoy local food, and connect with fellow islanders without flying back to the Caribbean.
Just a note:
some people leave negative comments because that moment of tearing someone else down is the only time they feel psychologically taller than their own life. A fulfilled person usually creates, builds, learns, connects, or grows. But a deeply unhappy person can become addicted to criticism because it temporarily distracts them from their own emptiness, insecurity, regret, or lack of purpose.
And before you leave a hateful or negative comment, ask yourself a hard question: what kind of inner condition makes someone stop their day just to discourage, mock, or belittle another…. because healthy souls usually create more than they destroy.
Caribbean nations come together she's have their parades in USA. Our Calypso bands, of culture ect. displayed in USA.. ☹️☹️☹️
OMG!!!
(1)BVI BUSINESS SUCCESS IS LARGELY BASED ON LOW WAGE, IMMIGRANT LABOUR.

(3)ALL DEVELOPING countries IMPORT LABOUR as a NECESSITY
(4)BVIslanders ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WANT PROGRESS WITHOUttttt cHANGE

OH YEAH...I KNOW..."COME HERE, WORK HARD IN SILENCE, DONT CONGREGATE NOT COMPLAIN NOR TRY TO CONTRIBUTE BEYOND SHITTIN AND PAYING TAXES, HIDE THE FACT THAT YOU NEED TO SEND REMITTANCES TO YOUR FAMILIES, SUFFER THE NATIONAL INNEFICIENCIES IN THE SAME SILENCE AND IGNORANCE AS YOUR BVI NEIGHBOURS, UNWITTINGLY OFFEND WITH YOUR INCREASING NUMBERS AS IF YOU HAVE A CONSPIRACY TO TAKE OVER THE BVI WORKFORCE AND CULTURE BY VIRTUE OF OTHER LOCALS BRINGING MORE OF YOU lol. lol. lol OH, AND EVEN THOUGH YOUR NUMBERS INCREASE , DO NOT RALLY, COMMUNE NOR SHOW ANY NATIONAL SENTIMENT, ...JUST TRY TO WALK AROUND AND DONT VISUALLY BOTHER OTHER NATIONALITIES"
LIKE YOU ( FILIPINOS) HAVE SOME UNNATURAL URGE TO BOND WITH BVI AND OTHER NATIONALS - EVEN THOUGH THEY DISDAIN YOU AND YOUR COMMUNAL LIVING AND RIDE SHARING CAPABILITIES. ETC, ETC, ETCCCC.
LIKE BV Islander FLOCK to save the seed to CHEER on the filipino basket ball team on weekends...of like BVIslanders generally give a rat's hiney.
LIKE BVILANDERS WANT ANY XYZ@$%$## IMMIGRANTS INVOLVED IN ANYTHING OF THEIRS ANYWAY....IGNORANCE IS BLISS HERE . EMANCIPATE YOURSELVES.
Unenlightened people...educate yourselves.
-Maybe we can learn from the diverse immigrants you have needed ( NEEDEDDDDDDDDD) to develop yourselves over the decades and to make FAMILIES which don't include OUR COUSINS.
-Maybe we will get some proper trade and workers unions
-Maybe we will get a credit union
- Maybe we will get a policy against the use of plastic bags.-Maybe we will get water to the effing farmers instead of them needing BLACK TANK DONATIONS...BUT WE HAVE A BOASTFUL , ROBUST ECONOMY A LA $450 mILLION P/A. LOL
-Maybe we can realize that were just getting policies and regulation re return of plastic and glass bottles - Policies which Caribbean islands HAVE IN PLACE FOR AVERAGING 50 YEARS NOW....FIFTY.
-Maybe we will get a Filipino to stand up next to CINDEee to show their voice and concerns and exercise their rights to protest- and we can Give POPE and PETERS an ERFFING BREAK....cause where are the local, generational voices??
-MAYBE we can CULTIVATE A LOCAL REPORTER or INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST. lol. a LOCAL competent and articulate and brave enough to challenge the BS in which we collectively wallow. Bet????

-Maybe we can stop being offended that peoples whom we do not embrace, who are here to make a US dollar....embrace each other and congregate , dance and cajole.....when they are NOT in MONEYGRAM sending money to their families who we ALSO do NOT WANT HERE . LOL
a good book once convinced me that we are measured by how we treat the least amoung us- and i live by that. last time i checked the Filipinos are amoung the ECONOMICALLY LEAST of us.
Let the goddam midget ppl dance and frolic in their likkle auditorium. SHEEEEEEETTTT!!!!
I am ashamed of BVI Attitudes.
see ya
Asians such as Phillipinos are created and socialized differently and to enter a country and establish their own culture as if dem still home is outright disrespectful to not only the people of the BVI but to every Caribbean Islander that, not only live here but are now unable to find meaningful employment because of their influx.
This government better reverse this $#!+ before they call another election or they may all have to go live in the Phillipines with their sides and employs.
What cultural boundaries exist in the Virgin Islands; our people want to know? What defines national representation? How much parallel national branding is appropriate in this small space with over 100 nationalities? How do you preserve local identity with over 100 nationalizes living in the Virgin Islands!
The diaspora typically serve as informal ambassadors to promote their homeland culture, heritage, and ethos to the host nation. This action by the expatriate Phillopinos cross the line. Was the pageant solely for Phillopinos? Nuff said. If true that speaks volume, flashing red.
The Philippines Islands (PI) is a low-middle income emerging country. It is comprise approximately 7641 islands, approximately 118 million population, size 115, 831 square mikes., approximate GDP $494B, GDP per capita appropriate $4000.
if them want their own pageant why not. not like it replacing we own which already full of nepotism.
this is trivial at best. thats like telling people its unfair to host a private birthday party with them friends and family.
plus these people are the nicest set of people i ever come across when it comes to customer service. them need change out all goverment customer service reps to pinoys/pinays especially dmv! yall moving like them taking we crown land let them hold them private event not like them forcing us to go to it lol strpz

could finally have some natural long hair offspring's. no picky hair rattchette kid. but then again some asians that grew up hair and take up nasty lifestyle end up being worst than us lol
Well these are the features that you can look forward too seeing that you like to put down African people.
Mostly short, fat and stocky, tiny eyes, round nose, lice attracting hair and cancer attacking skin for this hot sun.
BVIslanders, we have to keep our heads on and not allow our children and our future generations to be overwhelmed by the growing numbers of nationals of other countries in our territory. I hope our elected officials are not keeping their heads buried deep in the sand, but instead are observing what is unfolding and taking steps to address this and any similar situation that may currently exist. It must be regulated - and soon.
And don't get me wrong - this bold trend - with migrants from other countries is happening all over, and the locals in other countries are complaining, too, and addressing issues that crop up before they become 'mandemics'.
Don't say I did not warn you.
They not marching against racist governor but here with sh*t about people of colors
Some of y’all really need to stop being stuck in the past and turning everything into an issue. If you’re truly educated, you should know how to judge situations fairly and understand the difference between cultural celebration and disrespect.
The Filipino community contributes a lot to this territory, and celebrating their identity shouldn’t offend anybody. Respect works both ways.
First and foremost, the “Little Miss Philippines in the BVI” and “Miss Philippines in the BVI” are internal Association activities only. These are non-profit, non-fundraising events, and no tickets are being sold. These activities are simply segments of our program in celebration of our 15th Anniversary of The Filipino Association of British Virgin Islands (TFABVI) and the 128th Philippine Independence Day on June 12, 2026.
Every year during the month of June, the Association celebrates its anniversary by gathering the Filipino community, as mandated by our Association bylaws. The purpose of this celebration is to strengthen camaraderie and unity not only among Filipinos but also with other nationalities within the British Virgin Islands community. In fact, we warmly welcome and invite people of all nationalities to participate in our events and activities.
The Association has no intention, plans, or involvement in organizing, hosting, or conducting any large-scale commercial pageant in the British Virgin Islands.
In addition, the Association actively promotes inclusivity through sports activities and community services involving people from various nationalities. For example, during our coastal clean-up drives and other volunteer initiatives, we encourage participation from all interested residents, including students within the territory.
Once again, we emphasize that these pageant activities are purely internal events intended for entertainment, and community-building purposes. In fact, last year we also held a male version of the activity, which served as an informative and engaging platform, especially for newcomers to the island. One of the highlights was the Question-and-Answer segment, where participants were able to share meaningful insights and experiences.
Lastly, we would like to express our deepest respect for the heritage, culture, and traditions of the beautiful Virgin Islands. The Association remains committed to fostering harmony, cultural appreciation, and positive relationships within the wider BVI community.

In a place like the VI where many cultures live together, events like this are part of cultural diversity, and they can also help the local economy in simple ways by supporting local businesses and generating additional income for venues, restaurants, shops, transportation, and other local providers within the community. From the event preparations to the actual celebration, attendees and participants spend on food, transportation, clothing, beauty services, and other event-related needs, creating economic activity that benefits both small businesses and workers in the area.
At the end of the day, it’s a cultural celebration in a diverse community that also supports small business activity. There are bigger issues that affect everyday life and the focus should be on building a more livable island for everyone, where understanding and respect move people forward, not division or hate. #BVILOVE
As a possible step towards understanding the root cause for the "social friction," and "out of respect for the heritage, culture, and traditions of the beautiful Virgin Islands (Richard Cister, TFABVI).
As the spokesperson, or a designated spokesperson, may want to proactively reach out to a few of the community talk show programs (for a wider community outreach before the show) to bridge the gaps and misunderstanding between what maybe miscontrued as cultural inclusivity.
